# List comments for an information request

`GET /audits/{auditId}/information-requests/{requestId}/comments`

Retrieves a paginated list of comments for an information request, enabling
auditors to view communication history and collaborate with customers.

This endpoint always includes soft-deleted records (where `deletionDate !== null`).
Clients should check the `deletionDate` field to identify and handle deleted records
appropriately in their systems.

This endpoint supports delta synchronization via the `changedSinceDate` parameter,
allowing efficient polling for changes without retrieving the entire dataset.

Pagination usage:
1. Make initial request with desired `pageSize`
2. Check `results.pageInfo.hasNextPage` to see if more data exists
3. If true, use `results.pageInfo.endCursor` as `pageCursor` in next request
4. Repeat until `hasNextPage` is false

Delta sync usage:
1. Store the timestamp of your last sync
2. Pass that timestamp as `changedSinceDate`
3. Only comments created, modified, or deleted since that timestamp are returned
4. Process updates, including soft-deletes (deletionDate !== null)
5. Update your last sync timestamp to the current time

Rate limit: 50 requests / minute.

## Path parameters

- `auditId` string, required
- `requestId` string, required

## Query parameters

- `pageSize` integer — Controls the maximum number of items returned in one response from the API.
- `pageCursor` string — A marker or pointer, telling the API where to start fetching items for the subsequent page in a paginated dataset. Note that the requested page will not include the item that corresponds to this cursor but will start from the one immediately after this cursor.
- `changedSinceDate` string, date-time

## Response `200`

Ok

- PaginatedResponseInformationRequestComment
  - `results` object, required
    - `data` InformationRequestComment[], required
      - `id` string, required — The unique identifier for the comment within Vanta's system. Format: ObjectId as a string (e.g., "6890e473dce1da5d8406f5e7").
      - `text` string, required — The comment message content. Can include explanations, questions, or clarifications about the information request.
      - `creationDate` string, date-time, required — Timestamp when the comment was created. Format: ISO 8601 UTC timestamp.
      - `modificationDate` string, date-time, nullable, required — Timestamp when the comment was last edited. Null if the comment has never been modified. Format: ISO 8601 UTC timestamp.
      - `deletionDate` string, date-time, nullable, required — Timestamp when the comment was soft-deleted. Null if the comment has not been deleted. Soft deletes retain the comment for audit history while hiding it from normal operations. Format: ISO 8601 UTC timestamp.
      - `email` string, nullable, required — Email address of the comment author. This email uniquely identifies users between Vanta and external audit systems. Null when the comment author can't be matched to a Vanta user.
      - `authorName` string, nullable, required — Human-readable display name of the comment author. Null if the author's name is not available (e.g., user was deleted). This enables correct author attribution in integrations where users cannot be reliably matched across systems by email alone.
    - `pageInfo` PageInfo, required — Provides information about the pagination of a dataset.
      - `endCursor` string, nullable, required — The cursor that points to the end of the current page, or null if there is no such cursor.
      - `hasNextPage` boolean, required — Indicates if there is another page after the current page.
      - `hasPreviousPage` boolean, required — Indicates if there is a page before the current page.
      - `startCursor` string, nullable, required — The cursor that points to the start of the current page, or null if there is no such cursor.
